ABOUT THE ARTIST

Roger Boona captures a Purple Kimberley Wren perched gracefully in a palm tree by the river, where these small, vibrant birds are often found sitting near water. The wren, rendered in delicate detail with careful attention to its distinctive plumage and form, becomes the focal point of a striking geometric landscape that radiates outward in bold, rhythmic patterns.

Boona’s distinctive artistic style is on full display here, seamlessly weaving traditional Kalumburu rock design elements with contemporary illustration techniques. The bold ochre and terracotta tones, applied in layered geometric forms with precise white dotting, echo ancient rock art traditions while the illustrative rendering of the wren reveals his fascination with manga and comic art. Palm fronds frame the composition, grounding the piece in the riverside landscape of the Kimberley where Roger lives and works.

This scarf comes in a beautiful giftbox and includes an Artist’s card, detailing the artist’s work and practice.

This item is available in Store at Mundaring Arts Centre.
